CHANDIGARH: The Maintenance of Parents and Senior Citizens Welfare Act 2007 was adopted by Punjab Government in July 2008. The court of the Tribunal under the Maintenance & Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act 2007 (Sub Divisional Magistrate) Jalandhar has pronounced a land mark judgment. H.S.Mattewal Advocate General Punjab informed that the Judge of the Tribunal has ordered Kamaljeet Singh s/o Sukhinder Singh r/o Jalandhar to deposit Rs. 10,000 per month as Maintenance allowance in the account of his mother Gurcharn Kaur through Cheque/Demand Draft. The court also directed Kanwaljeet Singh to allow his parents to reside in their residential house at Jalandhar and not restrain their entry. Kanwaljeet Singh had ousted his parents from the house and they were forced to stay with their daughter at Amritsar. Mattewal informed that this historic Act adopted by the state Government would prove to be a boon for such parents who were rendered shelter less in the old age. This Act would also safe guard the interest of such hapless old parents in providing them security in the evening of their life to live with honour and dignity.
